1st Nicosia International Festival

The Nicosia Municipality presents the 1st Nicosia International Festival taking place from October 13th until November 24th, 2019 in the Nicosia Municipal Theatre.

A strategic goal of the Municipality’s cultural policy, which forms the philosophy behind the Festival is the responsibility to expose citizens to our own culture as well as the culture of other people and other traditions, in order to allow them to accept and embrace difference and equality regardless of age, gender, skin colour, religion or sexual orientation.

We invite the citizens of Nicosia and Cyprus to embrace a festival bringing together the past the present and the future. A festival that will showcase performances of theatre, music, and contemporary dance through more than 20 productions where the contemporary and the classical co-exist together with rebetiko and world music and where Cypriot artists present their work alongside world-class artists. We welcome you to a 40 day cultural feast which will present Nicosia as a mosaic of cultures with the citizens at its centre.
